Courage to Change…

November 16, 2013 By Clairey @ High on Hugs 4 Comments

_MG_4418What a doozy of a day. I won’t say it was a bad day as I had many choices in how I reacted to each situation.

Nobody but me is in charge of my feelings. With one thing after another from 1:30-8:30 I had many an opportunity to flip out, be angry, be resentful, sit on the pity pot, be a victim and so on. Over & over I chose acceptance, love, and take it easy.

Close to a breaking point after dinner, again I had a choice. I chose to take care of me. I slipped away with nature radio playing, candles lit, and sat in a hot bath with almond oil and a mix of ‘acceptance’ oil and essential lavender, taking deep breaths and had an amazing meditation session. Wowza! I have not felt this serene and spiritual in quite sometime.

Just for today, I am grateful for the freedom to accept my own awareness and have the willingness to take the next right step in finding a solution.
